What was wrong?

I get this error when building: ERROR: jupyter-console 6.0.0 has requirement prompt-toolkit<2.1.0,>=2.0.0, but you'll have prompt-toolkit 3.0.5 which is incompatible.

• what command you ran

pip install eth-brownie

• the code that caused the failure (see this link for help with formatting code)
• full output of the error you received

How can it be fixed?

Fill this in if you know how the bug could be fixed.

Hi!

Looks like you're trying to install globally without adequate permissions. While installing globally is possible, I don't recommend it as it's likely to conflict with other packages you've installed. That error message shows a conflict with jupyter-console.

The recommended way to install is to use pipx:

python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath
pipx install eth-brownie

If you prefer to manage the installation yourself, I highly recommend creating and installing into a virtual environment so that the install is isolated.

Also, your version of ganache-cli is a bit outdated. Brownie is tested against v6.8.1, I'd recommend upgrading so there's no chance of running into issues there.

Here's an article I wrote that goes into detail about the installation process, it might be helpful: Getting Started with Brownie

If you have any further questions I'll leave this issue open for now, or you can always find me on Telegram or Gitter.

That worked. Thanks.
